Mouw hits the spot - again

“My pastor has no idea of the kind of world I live in six days a
week.” That came from a prominent businessperson, a venture capitalist,
during a lunch we had together when I visited the city where he
works.

And even though that particular comment was clearly a complaint, it
was expressed in a larger context in which he was speaking quite warmly
about his involvement in the local church.

His congregation has good programs for his children, and he and his
wife are involved in a small group they find spiritually nurturing. His
pastor preaches good, biblically based sermons. All of that is
very positive in his mind. What is missing, though, is any sort of
connection to his actual daily work experience.
